Masterpiece !!!!! Rick forever!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When People THINK of there Top 5 Rick James Songs, this one really doesn't come to mind. I slept on this one for years. now it's in my Top 5. Rick James Songs. The Song did well for Rick back in 1985. but, it should have done even better/Bigger Hit. this should have gone #1 on the R&B Charts. it has that Classic, tight, and Clean, Rick James Production.

I love this cat. Who knew Rick James could moon walk?.........With a guitar in his hands at that.

That's was not a moonwalk

When a man could wear leopard and frills and no one would doubt his sexual orientation.

That Glow, rip Rick James ❤💥⭐🌸🎶🌠🙏

Oh the 80's how you entertain me

The production is really nice Rip Rick James 🕊 🙏🏼🕊

RIP Funk MASTER.

I'm feeling this song and video. Mighty good performance from thee late Rick James. Big influence on me. Love his songwriting and raw honesty in expressions. Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Classical Opera, Jazz, Funk, Rock & Roll and Dance. He possessed all the traits. Hear it very well throughout his recording years. RIP!!!!

Owen Rich i can do it all

This should’ve been a movie!

He was as good as Prince! But Prince got most of the Spotlight! Time to Revalue Rick James! King!

all I have to say is Slick Rick

...Prince started doing that too.. Lol!!

Such a beautiful song...the lyrics!

Whenever i really need a good laugh i watch this video, Rick in his strawberry blonde era is my favorite, as crazy as this video is the song is actually really sweet, Rick wrote a lot of beautiful non-sexual songs about women which is quite unique for a pop star💐

Highly orchestrated band ✌️
